Anti-Semite Helen Thomas Says Jews Should "Get The Hell Out Of Palestine And Go Back To Germany" (WATCH)

Video: Rabbi David F. Nesenoff interviewed correspondent Helen Thomas at the American Jewish Heritage Celebration Day at the White House -- May 27, 201

Helen Thomas is a crazy old bat, who might just also be a racist.  She is obviously as fair about Gaza as she is good-looking.  Go back to Germany and Poland, hmm.  Nice call, Helen.  And for the record, I'm not an extreme supporter of Israel.  I think the neo-cons are nuts, and Israel could handle more of its own problems.  But I also recognize their need to do something about the violence of HAMAS.

There is no validity to the Hamas narrative, of course.  It is false in every particular.  Hamas regularly holds the interests of Gazans hostage to its anti-Israel agenda, and it is doing so now.  Hamas has refused to accept both of the aid shipments brought by the recent flotilla, even though Israel convoyed them to the border crossings. Israel herself is the largest donor of humanitarian aid to the Gazans.  Hamas’ interest is in breaking the blockade so that it can receive weapon shipments unhindered from Iran.  Conditions in Gaza, meanwhile, are substantially better than presented by Western media.  And it is Hamas that launches rockets at Israel from Gaza, Hamas that executes bombing attacks inside Israel, and Hamas that uses women and children as human shields for its headquarters, arms caches, and supply routes.

Helen Thomas’ agency dumps her as client

Perhaps Helen Thomas hoped that her apology would suffice in tamping down the furor over her videotaped rant telling the Jews to “get the hell out of Palestine.”  It turns out that even her own agents didn’t buy it.  Nine Speaker announced that it has dropped Thomas as a client, while Lanny Davis blasted the doyenne of the White House Press Corps as “an anti-Semitic bigot”:

    Senior White House Press Corps member Helen Thomas may have apologized for her recent on-camera remarks calling on Jews to “get the hell out of Palestine” and go home to Europe, but her reputation seems beyond repair amid the abounding calls for her resignation.

    In the wake of the incident, Thomas’ agent Nine Speaker Inc. announced that it would no longer represent her.

    “It is with a heavy heart that Nine Speakers Inc. announces its resignation as the agent for Helen Thomas, Dean of the White House Press Corps,” wrote Diane Nine, agency president.

    “Ms. Thomas has had an esteemed career as a journalist, and she has been a trailblazer for women, helping others in her profession, and beyond. However, in light of recent events, Nine Speakers is no longer able to represent Ms. Thomas, nor can we condone her comments on the Middle East,” wrote Nine.

Meanwhile, Bill Clinton’s former White House counsel denounced Thomas, and challenged the White House Correspondents Association to defend any continued access to the WHPC:

    “Helen Thomas, who I used to consider a close friend and who I used to respect, has showed herself to be an anti-Semitic bigot,” wrote Davis in a statement.. “She has a right to criticize Israel…. However, her statement that Jews in Israel should leave Israel and go back to Poland or Germany is an ancient and well-known anti-Semitic stereotype of the alien Jew not belonging in the land of Israel that began 2,600 years with the first tragic and violent Diaspora caused bythe Romans.”

    “If she had asked all blacks to go back to Africa, what would the White House Correspondents Association’s position be as to whether she deserved WhiteHouse press room credentials – much less a privileged honorary seat?” wrote Davis, referring to Thomas’ seat in the middle of the front row at the White House briefing room.

    “Does anyone doubt that my friends Ann Compton and Joe Lockhart, whobelieve in the First Amendment right of free expression as much as I do,would not be as tolerant and protective of Helen’s privileges and honorsif she had been asking Blacks to return to Africa? Or Native Americans to Asia and South America, from which they came 8,000 or more years ago? I doubt it”, concluded Davis.

But as Leslie Gelb, former president of the Council on Foreign Relations, writes, the blockade is not just perfectly rational, it is perfectly legal. Gaza under Hamas is a self-declared enemy of Israel -- a declaration backed up by more than 4,000 rockets fired at Israeli civilian territory. Yet having pledged itself to unceasing belligerency, Hamas claims victimhood when Israel imposes a blockade to prevent Hamas from arming itself with still more rockets.

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) - Hungary's currency, bonds and stock market reeled Friday as the new government tried to reassure investors that it was not about to slide into a Greek-type crisis despite official comments that the economy was in serious trouble.

Fears that the economic peril could spread weighed heavily on the euro. The currency dropped below $1.20 for the first time in more than four years, falling to as little as $1.1994 in late European trading before edging back up to $1.2006. That was its lowest level since March 2006.

Sure, look at the great president affirmative action got us. The "Peter Principle" enshrined in unconstitutional law.

...but she issued a statement of "regret." Yes, as she wrote in her book, Ms. Thomas hails from 'over there.' As one of my readers pointed out, "Bashir Gemayel is undoubtedly spinning in his grave." http://jbjd.wordpress.com/2010/06/04/jews-back-where-you-came-from/
